About your vocal coach

Hello! I am Sonia Purani, a singing tutor with over 5 years of experience. I am currently at NYU Steinhart and Stern studying psychology, marketing, and vocal performance. I specialize in personalized singing lessons mainly for beginners and kids, focusing on jazz, classical, and pop style singing; though, I am open to teaching everyone of all ages. My expertise includes ear training, harmony, improvisation, music theory, and more. I create a tailored learning experience to enhance melody, pitch, vocal techniques, and I place special emphasis on breathing and grounding... the most important part of healthy singing! Whether you're just starting or want to refine your skills, my expert teaching will help you grow as a vocalist! Feel free to reach out with any questions, and lets hit the right notes together in our online lessons!

Singing lessons overview

My teaching methodology focuses extensively on breathing techniques, expressive delivery, harmony, rhythm, and motivation to enhance singing lessons. I make sure that all my students do not just learn singing, but they learn how to sing effectively and healthily. I specialize in Pop Singing, Jazz Singing, Classical Singing, and Singing for beginners and kids, but everyone is welcome to learn. I utilize a variety of tech tools like Google Meet, Zoom, and Wiingy Chat to offer interactive online learning experiences. I use self made lesson plans and tools to teach songs and warmups. Lessons range in time, and I follow a structured curriculum tailored to cater to students aged 10 and above. My personalized tutoring approach ensures that students grasp vocal techniques effectively, building a strong foundation for their musical journey.

In this online singing lesson, Sonia Purani guided Chelsee Green through exercises focusing on diaphragmatic breathing, vocal placement, and the solfège scale. Chelsee practiced breath control techniques and began learning to identify and utilize her head voice. They scheduled a makeup lesson for later in the week due to Sonia's upcoming vacation and discussed transitioning to lessons via FaceTime.

Tim learned 9 days ago

During their vocal lesson, Sonia and Tim concentrated on various vocal exercises, including breathing techniques and the 'dome pattern' utilizing solfège syllables. Sonia offered targeted feedback to Tim regarding his pitch accuracy, detailing methods to prevent singing notes either too sharp or too flat. To aid Tim's independent practice, Sonia later provided him with a voice recording of the 'Doy lo' pattern.

Sonia and Kwamé's recent singing lesson centered on refining vocal techniques. They focused on breathing exercises to enhance breath control and engaged in vocal warm-ups using the solfège scale. Kwamé specifically worked on the 4-7-8 breathing method and a particular scale-based vocal pattern. For continued practice in these vocal arts, Sonia provided a YouTube video to help him independently master the pattern.

Rob learned 16 days ago

Sonia, a vocal coach, led an online singing lesson with Rob, where they mutually decided to move their future lessons from the Wingi platform to Zoom or FaceTime. The lesson itself focused on essential breathing exercises, Solfeggio scales, and a challenging vocal pattern, all aimed at enhancing Rob's technique, particularly his breath control and his ability to 'flip' into falsetto smoothly. Sonia provided detailed feedback and assigned Rob specific practice exercises to improve his control over these vocal transitions. They concluded by discussing scheduling and agreed to communicate via text for future arrangements.

During their singing lesson, Sonia Purani and Tim Didjurgis first handled administrative matters, including updates on lesson platforms and payment. Tim then proceeded with vocal warm-ups, breathing exercises, and scales. Following these, he began learning the initial four lines of a new song, concentrating on pitch and breath control. Sonia will send Tim a recording of the piece for him to practice, and they plan to continue working on it in their upcoming lesson.
